Hockey players benefit from 360 development during six-week camp
PRINCE GEORGE – For the past six weeks, several dozen hockey players have been experiencing a whole new camp here in the North that hasn’t been offered before.
“I was quite humbled by the response,” said Matt Stand, the founder and operator of HBIQ Sports. “To have 41 athletes come out and participate in the camp in your first year, you can’t ask for any more humbling response,” said Stang.
HBIQ Sports is a 360 development company focused on the sport of hockey. Not only do they do the on-ice training, but they have also been providing their athletes with in-depth analytics and video study.
“We only have 12 players on the ice,” said Stang. “There’s a lot of attention to detail we can get on, and the kids are still getting their reps. The big thing for us is to just make sure they’re always going 110 per cent, especially in the later parts of camp. Early on, we work on the mechanical stuff so it’s a little bit more low tempo but once we get up to the other side, it’s go.”
